    Oh sure, just ignore the rest of Plum's play-making.....

    And are you telling me that you wouldn't take Griffin over Collins?

    Cut it to 15 with a wide open 3 clang, and then lets give them an and-1 on the other end.

    Don't even get me started. He coached a great first round (but also was going against an incompetent coach in Donovan).

    I even admitted he did. Sadly, every time he makes progress, he regresses. I don't know if he gets complacent and thinks that, after every good stretch the "points of emphasis" are ingrained in the team so he doesn't need to emphasize them anymore, but this dude always regresses. I can admit when he's done well and admit when he struggles. Far better than most of the posters on here who are one way or the other.

    Boggles my mind how he's completely immune to criticism for some people, because he coached well in the 1st round, or because somehow he can do no wrong if Nurkic is hurt.

    We just aren't allowed to be near them when they shoot, but they just hack the shit out of us repeatedly...

    Plumlee has 1 assist.

    And where the fuck did I say that? Because I don't think Plumlee has outplayed Collins this game means I want Collins over Griffin (who I've been leading the charge for)?

    I hate that argument tactic.

    Refs have been bad but this loss will not be on them. Lack of defensive effort and chaotic offense is what we should be looking to blame. I mean we are down by 20 and will probably lose by 30-40 at the end. It’s not on refs.

    Worth it. Dame, CJ, Nurk, Griffin, and, say, Hood or Moe is a contending team.

    Please sit Aminu on the end of the bench with Turner and have someone glue them down to their chairs so they can't come back in.

    Why do our players seeming not know that Denver is going to try to steal the ball when we have it??? It's simple shit like this the players are failing at. That's not on the coach.
